Join the team as Twilio's next Staff Product Designer (Email Products) [2026-06].
About the job
At Twilio, we are shaping the future of communications, empowering millions of developers and hundreds of thousands of businesses globally to build personalized customer experiences. We are looking for a visionary, highly strategic Staff Product Designer (L4) to join our Channels UX team and serve as the overarching design leader for Twilio's Email Products. Following our recent announcements at SIGNAL, Twilio is expanding its communication footprint with the General Availability of Twilio Email inside the reimagined Twilio One Console. Built on our industry-leading, high-deliverability engine, this new capability is explicitly designed for product teams and developers who want to embed email directly into broader, cross-channel communication workflows alongside Messaging and Voice. In this role, you will define the strategic user experience vision for this rapidly expanding product line, while also steering the long-term design architecture for our foundational SendGrid email platform. Reporting into the Channels UX leadership layer, you will partner closely with Product Directors and Engineering VPs across our email organization to establish core platform patterns, architect unified cross-channel workflows, and champion user-centered platform thinking across traditional organizational silos. This is a phenomenal opportunity to act as a principal design stakeholder, shaping a high-growth product area from its foundational stages while leveraging the scale of a world-class communication platform.
Responsibilities
In this role, you'll:

• Architect the Twilio Email Vision: Own the holistic, end-to-end user journey strategy for Twilio Email inside the core One Console. Define the foundational mental models and interaction standards for complex API configurations, domain authentication, and transactional setups.
• Lead Cross-Channel Harmonization: Act as the strategic connective tissue between individual channel silos. Partner with design, product, and engineering leaders across Messaging and Voice to build unified, channel-agnostic configuration and observability narratives that redefine multi-channel builder experiences.
• Steer the Modernization of SendGrid: Define the long-term UX roadmap and structural evolution for our high-revenue, standalone SendGrid platform-ensuring it continues to scale seamlessly and remains the enterprise gold standard for deliverability and marketing workflows.
• Establish High-Level Strategic Partnerships: Cultivate influential, peer-to-peer relationships with Product Directors and Engineering VPs across our email teams. Elevate the UX organization to a strategic partner capable of driving product direction and balancing deep technical infrastructure primitives with elegant user outcomes.
• Define Observability & Platform Telemetry Standards: Architect the design framework for high-density data visualizations, centralized delivery event logs, and real-time diagnostic dashboards that help developers effortlessly track complex deliverability metrics and performance.
• Scale Design Systems & Mentorship: Drive the evolution of Twilio's centralized design system by pioneering complex, reusable email primitives. Act as a mentor and multiplier for L3 designers and cross-functional teams across the Channels UX organization, elevating the overall craft and design rigor.
• De-risk Organizational Ambiguity: Navigate extreme technical and structural ambiguity, transforming vague corporate initiatives and fragmented customer journeys into a clear, unified 2027 strategic product roadmap.

Twilio values diverse experiences from all kinds of industries, and we encourage everyone who meets the required qualifications to apply.

*Required:
Work schedule: Full-time, US-based, remote

• 8+ years of professional product design experience architecting and shipping complex, data-heavy B2B SaaS platforms, developer tools, infrastructure products, or enterprise communication platforms.
• Expert-Level Systems Thinking: A world-class portfolio demonstrating deep structural design, cross-product workflow mapping, highly complex data architectures, and an ability to unify fragmented platform experiences.
• Executive Cross-Functional Leadership: Proven track record of influencing product strategy at the Director and VP level, balancing highly technical backend trade-offs, and directly shaping multi-year product roadmaps.
• Mastery of Technical Complexity: Experience taking abstract, technical infrastructure primitives (e.g., complex APIs, SDK integrations, distributed data layers) and translating them into seamless, developer-friendly mental models.
• Team Multiplier: Experience mentoring other designers, building design frameworks, and driving structural change within a scaling UX organization.
• AI-Powered UX Mindset: We're building a UX team that's thoughtful about how AI is changing the way products are built, as well as how our work gets done. We expect UXers to be curious about AI-powered tools and workflows, and to use emerging technologies thoughtfully to improve speed, quality, and impact. We're looking for people who can help us evolve our practice as these tools and expectations continue to change.

Desired:

• Designed for Developers: Extensive practical experience designing interfaces for technical builders (APIs, CLIs, SDKs, or developer management consoles).
• Advanced Data Visualization Fluency: Deep expertise in designing intricate monitoring systems, log viewers, anomaly detection interfaces, or high-density analytical reporting dashboards.
• Email Industry Expertise: Deep familiarity with email delivery infrastructure, domain management (DNS, SPF, DKIM), transactional communication protocols, or experience directing design for platforms like SendGrid.
